About

Gowanus Canal Conservancy is dedicated to facilitating the development of a resilient, vibrant, open space network centered on the Gowanus Canal through activating and empowering community stewardship of the Gowanus Watershed. Since our founding in 2006, we have become the environmental steward for the neighborhood through leading grassroots volunteer projects, educating students about the environmental issues facing the Gowanus Canal and Watershed, and working with agencies, elected officials, and the community to advocate for, build, and maintain innovative green infrastructure around the Gowanus Canal.
